Skilling Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Hi Everyone, I am knew to this site. I have been researching a piece that I bought at a sale. I know that the ep that is on it side stands for elecroplating it all so have j d & s for james dixon and son and it has the trumpet in a banner. Under this it has Y1463 and another symbol below that. I have been trying to date this bowl and I think it was around 1830 to 1840 not sure. I would also like to know if it is worth anything. Thanks to all who reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colgreenwood Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I have a very old James Dixon & Sons tray. It measures about 24 inches handle to handle, and is very heavy. It has the Bugle with Flag, JD&S markings on the back with 8506 20, followed by a symbol that looks like two back to back letter C's. I would love to know what this type of tray was used for, and how old it may be. It is very worn, and may not be worth a cracker, but that doesn't worry me. It is more about the history of it. Any advice on this is very much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gormenghast Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I've got a round-ended table knife with the Dixons mark on it. It's also marked "NO RUS" and "FABRICADO ESPECIALMENTE PARA BAZAR INGLES" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danwood21 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Hi there. I am new to the forum, and I wonder if you can help me about what the value of a James Dixon & Sons pewter bottle with a fitted cup on the bottom may be worth. The stamp in the bottom says H50A and there is also a "16". I saw that a Lauren posted a similar question not long ago. Hers had a leather holster which mine is missing. I have pictures but don't see a way to attach them. Any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. -Hans Mouritzen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northumbrian Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) New Member, 1st Post, glad 2 b here. fwiw, a li'l bit more on James Dixon & Sons that may be is of interest to some... Was recently tracking down info. on a marrow spoon Hallmark: Also, the bigger marrow spoon picture Here's some quoted help from Phil at the 925-1000 forums "...You were right to suspect that this is plated. The letters of the manufacturer's mark are actually ID&S which, with the interchangeability of I and J, leads us to the Sheffield company James Dixon & Sons. It is possible that the Y is some sort of private date coding but, if so, I am not aware that we have any further information about the system. The rectangular shape of the centre section may be to match a set of flatware or perhaps simply a way of making the item more cheaply..." and adding a couple of bits from this topic: "...I believe because of the stamps it has it cannot have been made after 1879 because that is when James Dixon and Sons were granted a bugle trademark stamp. Also it couldn't have been made before 1835 because before that the company was known by a different name so the initials wouldn't have been used..." And, possibly. the sideways Y to the right of the mark could be = 1866 or, 1821 - before the flood! See Sheffield Date Letters and that's all I know today. thanks for reading!
